7 lessons- 01Mind, Place, and PathwaysThis episode unpacks how adolescent brain development, psychological factors, and environmental geography combine to influence juvenile delinquency. Professor A blends research, real-life examples, and critical questions to reveal why understanding these intersections is essential for prevention and hope. Listeners will consider not just what youth do, but the layered reasons why.
- 02Poverty, Place, and Patterns of Juvenile DelinquencyThis episode explores the interconnection between juvenile delinquency and poverty across neighborhoods and geographic settings, examines empirical findings on social disorganization, highlights the stability and variation in collective efficacy, and discusses how cultural and structural geography influence family dynamics and youth outcomes.
- 03Justice by Geography and the Lived Stories of the School-to-Prison PipelineIn this episode, Professor A unpacks how race, geography, and systemic biases shape students' paths through the school-to-prison pipeline. With a lens on urban, suburban, and rural differences, and drawing directly from the voices of Black students with disabilities, we'll examine patterns, lived experiences, and solutions such as restorative justice and cross-sector collaboration.
